PROGRESSIVE WEB APP (PWA) DEVELOPMENT
What is a Progressive Web App?
A Progressive Web App is a website built to behave like a native app. It can be installed to a phone, tablet or desktop home screen with its own icon, it can carry on working with no or poor internet connection, and it can send push notifications - all without going through an app store.
One codebase, deployed instantly, running on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac and Linux - with none of the delay, cost or restriction of the app stores.
Because a PWA is still fundamentally a website, it is found by search engines, can be shared with a simple link, and is updated the moment you publish a change - your users are always on the latest version, with nothing to download or approve.
Why choose a PWA over a native app?
- One codebase - build once, run on Android, iOS, Windows, Mac and Linux
- No app store submission, review delays or rejection risk
- No 20-30% app store commission on sales made through the app
- Instant updates - every user is always on the latest version
- Installable to the home screen with its own icon and splash screen
- Works offline, or on a poor connection, using service workers and caching
- Push notifications to bring customers back
- Indexed by Google - discoverable like a website, powerful like an app
- A fraction of the cost of building and maintaining separate native iOS and Android apps
- Secure by design - PWAs require HTTPS
